A Couple of Fossil Pictures for Ava

Ava - We didn't find any fossils in the ground, although people find fossils all of the time at the Badlands. One was found a week before we showed up. They ask that you tell a ranger and then they take your picture with the fossil and tell you about it what you found.  The park has a Fossil Exhibit Trail where fossil's are on display.  Here are a couple examples:




Fossil of an alligator head.

This is a Oreodont - hog or pig-like that was found through out the Badlands.  It is unusual to find a completed skeleton.
